Pangodi campsite

A popular summer camping ground in a good location with good swimming opportunities. It is situated close to the main road, separated with a forest patch.

Pangodi campsite lies on the shore of Lake Pangodi in the Pangodi landscape reserve, about 20 km south of Tartu on the way to Otepää. The lake sits in a hollow among the first hills of the Otepää upland, and a strip of forest screens the campsite from the road, so it feels secluded despite its popularity. In summer it is one of the favourite swimming lakes for people from Tartu, with changing cabins, a volleyball court and space for thirty tents. Only non-motorised boats are allowed on the lake. The short 1 km Pikksaare hiking trail passes the campsite.
